we had a little tiff about our urban design / mangalore study trip work's presentation's buttons' graphics and layout today. am a very no-frills-attached person and some didn't agree with my differences...---photo of taraporevala aquarium at marine drive. mumbai's plans to have a world-class aquarium facility seem to have gone down the sea....---what do you think of the fish on the façade?

Is hard to answer that question because suddenly I like the façade in general because it is exotic. Looking carefully I dont like to see the whales upside down but in the other hand they are in harmony with the waves. I like the orange fishes at the windows but I hate the ones at the top of the building.

@ monsoon-dreams: the building isn't much to speak off; nor do i like the patterns / colours

@ daniel j santos: :)

@ richa: i couldn't agree more

@ quintaranito: :)

@ uma por dia: i don't think the fish make it look exotic, not that it needs to look exotic in the first place...

@ andrea: in a sense it does work for those who may not be able to read, its quite clear that the building is an aquarium

@ zentmrs: :)

@ southern heart: :)

@ tanty: :)

@ petrea: i agree!

@ uma por dia: as i said i'd have to go with richa. not because we come from the same school of thought (quite literally, that!) but because they don't need to have fish on the facade just because its an aquarium... imagine if every building had such symbols on its facades, we'd be living in a colouring book then!
